본 연구는 항산화 효과가 뛰어난 천년초를 이용하여 taxifolin을 순수분리하고 항염증 효과를 연구하였다. 천년초는 잎과 열매로 나누어 추출하였고 추출공정으로는 먼저 메탄올을 이용하여 조추출물을 추출하였다. 이렇게 얻어진 조추출물의 항산화 효과를 측정하였는데. 잎 추출물에서 $38.33{\pm}1.07{\mu}g/mL$로 높은 항산화 활성을 나타내었다. high performance liquid chromatography를 이용하여 taxifolin을 분리하고 확인하였다. 이렇게 얻어진 taxifolin을 이용하여 항염증 효과를 측정하였다. Taxifolin의 농도별 세포독성 측정에서는 $500{\mu}M$ 농도까지 처리 하였을 때 특별한 세포독성을 나타내지는 않았다. lipopolysaccharide에 의해 유도된 RAW 264.7 cell을 이용한 taxifolin의 염증성 cytokine 측정실험에서는 IL-6의 발현양을 $500{\mu}M$ 처리시 $2139.75{\pm}1.64pg/mL$로 대조군에 비하여 47%까지 저해하였다. 하지만 $TNF-{\alpha}$의 발현량은 대조군에 비하여 5%만 감소하였다. 염증성지표의 NO의 생성량은 $500{\mu}M$ 처리시 $17.43{\pm}0.27{\mu}M$로 대조군에 비하여 57%까지 감소 시켰으며, 이와 관련된 COX-2 단백질의 발현양은 약 66% 이상 감소시켰다. 따라서 천년초에서 추출한 taxifolin은 항염증 효과가 있음을 확인할 수 있다.

In previous works, we found that solvent extract of Opuntia humifusa Raf., a member of the lactaceae family, displayed potent anti-oxidative and anti-inflammatory activities. Thus, all solvent fractions, except for the water layer, showed potent scavenging effects. According to activity-guided fractionation, one of active radical scavenging principles in the ethyl acetate fraction was found to be taxifolin. In this study, we investigated whether taxifolin showed anti-oxidative activity. In addition, taxifolin modulated nitric oxide (NO) release and the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokine mRNA such as interleukin-$1{\beta}$ (IL-$1{\beta}$), IL-6, granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF), and TNF-${\alpha}$. Taxifolin showed potent anti-oxidant activity with the $IC_{50}\;of\;8.5{\pm}1.4\;and\;9.3{\pm}1.0{\mu}M$ using xanthine/xanthine oxidase (XO) assay and 2,2-Diphenyl-lpicrylhydrazyl radical (DPPH) assay, respectively. We next determined the role of taxifolin on the immunomodulating activity using murine macrophage cell line RAW264.7 cells. Taxifolin dose-dependently inhibited NO production in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-activated RAW264.7. It also significantly blocked the expression of inducible NO synthase (iNOS) mRNA in the LPS-stimulated RAW264.7 cells. In addition, taxifolin potently suppressed the expression of IL-$1{\beta}$, IL-6 and GM-CSF mRNA in LPS-activated RAW264.7 cells, but not that of TNF-${\alpha}$ Moreover, taxifolin significantly inhibited the transcriptional activity of nuclear factor-${\kappa}B$ (NF-${\kappa}B$) and activator protein -1 (AP-1). These results suggest that taxifolin may downregulate inflammatory iNOS, IL-$1{\beta}$, IL-6 and GM-CSF gene expressions through inhibition of NF-K and AP-1 activation in LPS-stimulated RAW264.7 cells.

Taxifolin glycoside is a new drug candidate for the treatment of atopic dermatitis (AD). Many drugs cause side effects such as long QT syndrome by blocking the human ether-a-go-go related gene (hERG) $K^+$ channels. To determine whether taxifolin glycoside would block hERG $K^+$ channels, we recorded hERG $K^+$ currents using a whole-cell patch clamp technique. We found that taxifolin glycoside directly blocked hERG $K^+$ current in a concentration-dependent manner ($EC_{50}=9.6{\pm}0.7{\mu}M$). The activation curve of hERG $K^+$ channels was negatively shifted by taxifolin glycoside. In addition, taxifolin glycoside accelerated the activation time constant and reduced the onset of the inactivation time constant. These results suggest that taxifolin glycoside blocks hERG $K^+$ channels that function by facilitating activation and inactivation process.

Recently, consumer's demands are increasing for new natural functional and healthful food. These demands have encouraged a better understanding of the biochemical, chemical and nutritional composition of plant products. Superhongmi rice variety was derived from a cross between CG2-3-5-2-6-2 (Heugjinju/Suwon 425) having reddish brown color and Daeribbyeo 1 having a large grain size. Superhongmi rice headed on Sep. 5th and has 94.7 cm culm length. Taxifolin, a phenolic compound in superhongmi rice extract had high ${\alpha}-glucosidase$ inhibitory activity. The ${\alpha}-glucosidase$ inhibitory activity of the superhongmi rice extracts correlated to the taxifolin content and antioxidant activity of the extracts. A new method for quantitative determination of taxifolin in superhongmi rice variety by high performance liquid chromatography was established. A reversed-phase system with Tosoh TSK-gel $C_{18}$ column using 60% methanol in water(pH 2.4) as a mobile phase was developed. Taxifolin was detected at 280 nm and the analysis was successfully carried out within 40 min. In ripening phase, the amount of taxifolin showed a mild decreasing slope. The highest contents was 59.27mg in 100g seed on the 30 days after heading(DAH). The optimum harvesting time, considering taxifolin content, maturity rate and thousand seed weight(TSW) was DAH 50. These results suggest that superhongmi rice which has high taxifolin content has the potential to contribute as a dietary supplement for controlling hyperglycemia and oxidative stress-linked diabetes complications.

More than half of the global distribution of the Rhododendron genus is found in China, with over 74% being endemic species. However, there is still insufficient data to chemically classify the Rhododendron genus native to China. Therefore, in this study, a chemotaxonomic study was conducted to determine the presence of taxifolin-3-O-arabinopyranoside, a flavonoid compound, in the Rhododendron genus native to China. Forty-three species of Rhododendron native to China-20 from across China, 8 from Beijing, 6 from Yanbian, and 9 from Yunnan-were utilized in the experiment. Through HPLC analysis, the retention time was compared with that of taxifolin-3-O-arabinopyranoside, a standard compound, and quantitative analysis was conducted. As a result, taxifolin-3-O-arabinopyranoside was detected in 22 out of 43 the Chinese Rhododendron species. Afterwards, LC-MS/MS analysis was performed on the 22 species in which taxifolin-3-O-arabinopyranoside was detected to determine whether the molecular weight was consistent with the standard compound. Under negative conditions, it was confirmed that all samples exhibited the same molecular weight as taxifolin-3-O-arabinopyranoside, 435-436 m/z. The same compound was detected in more than half of the Rhododendron species used in the experiment, and taxifolin-3-O-arabinopyranoside was determined to be an indicator compound for Rhododendron species native to China. In addition, the possibility of using the above results as basic data for chemical classification of Chinese Rhododendron genus was confirmed.

천연물 유래의 보다 안전하고 활성이 우수한 항균 및 항산화물질을 탐색할 목적으로 산벚나무 심재로부터 분리한 pinostrobin, eriodictyol, naringenin. pinocembrin, taxifolin, verecundin의 항균 및 항산화활성을 검정 하였다. 배지점적법을 이용하여 항진균활성을 조사한 결과, pinocembrin(5,7-dihydroxyflavanone)이 공시균주 모두에 대해 80% 이상의 균사생장억제율을 나타내어 가장 활성이 우수한 것으로 나타났으며 그 다음이 naringenin(4',5,7-trihydroxyflavanone), 그리고 verecundin(7-hydroxyflavanone 5-O-${\beta}$-D-glucopyranoside)은 활성이 없는 것으로 나타났다. 특히, pinocembrin의 경우 현재 천연물로부터 분리되어 실용화되고 있는 항균물질인 히노키치올에 비견될 수 있는 항진균활성을 나타내었다. 한천배지확산법을 이용한 항세균활성 조사에서는 단리물질 모두 생육저지환을 형성하지 않아 활성이 없는 것으로 나타났다. 또한, 항산화활성 검정을 위해 프리라디칼소거능 및 과산화물가를 조사한 결과, taxifolin(3,3',4',5,7-pentahydroxyflavanone)과 eriodictyol(3',4',5,7-tetrahydroxyflavanone)이 천연항산화제인 ${\alpha}$-tocopherol의 2배의 프리라디칼소거능을 나타내었으며, 항산화지수도 천연항산화제보다 높은 것으로 나타나 항산화활성이 우수한 것으로 판단되었다. 이상의 결과 산벚나무 심재 에탄올 추출물의 높은 항균활성은 pinocembrin에, 항산화활성은 taxifolin과 eriodictyol에 기인하는 것으로 사료되었다.

Japanese anise (Illicium anisatum L.) twigs were collected and ground after drying, then immersed with 50% aqueous acetone for 3 days. After filtration, the extracts were fractionated with n-hexane, chloroform ($CHCl_3$), ethylacetate (EtOAc) and $H_2O$, and then freeze-dried after condensation. A portion of EtOAc soluble fraction (5.7 g) was chromatographed on a Sephadex LH-20 column with various aqueous $MeOH-H_2O$. Compound 2 and compound 3 were isolated from fraction 8 and 5, respectively. Compound 1 and compound 4 were isolated after rechromatography of fraction 7. The isolated compounds were elucidated as (+)-catechin (1), taxifolin (2), taxifolin-3-O-${\beta}$-D-(+)-xylopyranose (3) and quercitrin (4) by spectral and literature data, and by comparison with the authentic samples. Of the isolated compounds, taxifolin (2), taxifolin-3-O-${\beta}$-D-(+)-D-xylopyranose (3) and quercitrin (4) were isolated, for the first time, from the extracts of japanese anise twigs.
